Training camp continues! Karasuno is getting stomped by the other teams. With the change in their gameplay, they are struggling to find a rhythm for their games. Kagayama and Hinata are still not talking, which is only making the team flail about in disarray even more. How are they going to advance in the Spring Tournament, when they can’t even win a game at training camp?

Realizing that their game isn’t good enough to win at the Spring Tournament, Hinata wants to change how they run the freak quick attack. Instead of closing his eyes and trusting Kageyama to put the ball where he can hit it, he wants to keep his eyes open and be a more active participant in the play. Kageyama refuses to listen to him, and tells him he won’t put the ball where he can hit it anymore. It’s too close to the tournament to change their best play. The tension between the two teammates alters the flow of the entire game, and their first training camp is a disaster.

After coming to terms with their defeat at the hands of Aoba Johsai, the Karasuno volleyball club is working on preparing for the spring tournament. Takeda calls in some favors and gets the team invited to a training camp in Tokyo. There’s just one problem. Finals are coming up, and four players are dangerously close to failing! If they don’t pass their tests, they’ll be forced to miss training camp for make-up tests.

The battle between Karasuno and Aoba Johsai continues! And it may shock you, but it doesn’t end in Volume 7, either! I love the never-ending battles in shounen manga, be it cooking battles, board game battles, battles to the death, or my new favorite – VOLLEYBALL battles! I still don’t understand the rules of the game, but the tension is ratcheted up so high that all I needed to know was that Karasuno has their work cut out for them if they want to progress in the Inter-High Tournament!

And we’re back for the action in the Inter High Tournament! Karasuno and Date Tech are bashing it out to see who gets to continue to the next match, and who gets to go home for the rest of the tournament. The action is fierce, but Karasuno dominates, setting up the rematch again Blue Castle!

The inter-high qualifiers have begun! After a frenzy of last minute training, Karasuno is determined to to have a rematch with Nekoma by winning the upcoming tournament. They draw Tokonomi for the first round, and the heat is on! Can they survive to make it to the next round of competition?

The big game between Nekoma and Karasuno is finally on! In sports manga tradition, almost the entire volume is devoted to the volleyball match. The action is swift and the sets are brutal, with Kageyama and Hinata putting their hearts in the game. Can they beat the school’s rival?
